Dragon Age: Origins Crashes to Desktop clicking to start "New Game"

To whom it may concern,

I have been attempting for several days now to figure out why Dragon Age: Origins crashes to desktop immediately upon starting a "New Game". I have done every fix possible to fix this issue, but, it will not work. I have it on both Steam and with Origin, but, I think I currently have it installed via Origin. At this point, I'm ready to wash my hands of the PC version and use the Xbox version because I have never had issues with that one - however, I have all of the content for my PC version. I can't give you my computer specs because I do not know them off the top of my head and I suspect that this is a headache issue for a lot of people. 

Please respond to me when you can, 

Thank you,

    I wouldn't even begin to know how to retrieve that but I don't think that's the issue as it is. 

    I can open the game. It boots without issue. I then will click "New Game" and it will actually load - and then after about 30 seconds to 1 minute of loading, it will crash to desktop without fail. This has happened many times to me and I don't know why. I've had the game for many years. What is going on?

    Are you using or have you used mods related to character creation?  I had this issue before and it turned out to be due to OneDrive preventing the mod manager I was using from properly cleaning up mods.
